Q: What’s the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?

Nannies and babysitters share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Nannies are more commonly associated with regular work, whether full or part-time, offering daily or consistent care to a particular family. There are also several different types of nannies, including au pairs, house managers, doulas, live-in, and overnight nannies. Babysitters, on the other hand, are typically hired for irregular or occasional work, either full or part-time. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great best option. Identifying the type and frequency of child care you’ll need is the best way to decide whether a babysitter or nanny is a better fit for your family.

Q: How do nannies interact with my child?

Nannies on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They're happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art. Wherever your child's interests lie, nannies on Sittercity can engage them in a nurturing way.

Hi! My name is Diana and I am an RN, mother and grandmother seeking to fill some sitting positions in the Texas Hill Country. In my spare time I enjoy reading and writing, gardening, cooking adventures and long walks. Caretaking has always been my favorite part of being a nurse. I love to tend to babies, children and elders and animals. My strengths are anticipating needs and leaving places better than when I found them. I'm looking forward to building relationships in the community and becoming self-employed offering home management, sitting and companion care services. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. References available upon request..

With over 20 years of experience in education, I have had the privilege of working with children from newborns through teenagers.. My passion for nurturing young minds is evident in my ability to engage them in creative and fun activities without relying on electronics. My approach to childcare emphasizes creativity and physical activity, ensuring that children are not only entertained but also stimulated and active. I love incorporating my interests, such as pickleball, golf, biking, hiking, and swimming, into our daily routines. I believe in fostering a positive and dynamic environment for every child I care for..
